“I believe in building spirits”

EAGLE BEACH — Casa del Mar Beach Resort & Timeshare offers you paradise: an
oceanfront location on the white, sandy Eagle Beach, the amazing blue-green col-
ored Caribbean ocean, wonderful luxury oceanfront or poolside timeshare suites
and a world of amenities like a spa, restaurant, a pool and a gym. Having fun, while
staying fit, is the department of Imbert Morrison, water aerobics teacher at the re-
sort.
Energy is part of him, and being 62 years of age does not bother him at all. “It is in
your mind where you create strength. I believe in building spirits.” You can also be
active on vacation because you may want to balance with the dinners and drinks,
he states. His classes are taking place in the resort’s pool and he aims for real par-
ticipation. “I observe my group and adjust my class to the level of the guests. I have
been doing this already for seventeen years and still I enjoy every single class.”
Sport is a Choice
Imbert used to be a dancing teacher back in his native country, Trinidad. “One of
the dances I taught was limbo dancing and one day I was asked to go to Aruba
to perform limbo. I already used to travel to Japan so it was okay for me to go
abroad.” His manager introduced him to Casa del Mar Resort & Timeshare and
here he is. “It is family here. I love the interaction and energy with the people. Many
know me for years already and we even maintain contact when they are home to
share tips about a healthy lifestyle.” He can relate to the fact that it is sometimes a
challenge to stay fit when you have reached a certain age, for sure, but the idea
is to make exercise part of your life. “Nowadays sport is not a must anymore, but a
choice. People do take more care than in the former days.”

Plain Awesome
In the neighborhoods back home he worked with children and set up shows con-
taining dancing, drama and acting. It was not always easy to motivate the youth
and keep them off the streets, but he believes in perseverance. His biggest achieve-
ment was to teach children that are hearing impaired, but he managed to win
competitions with them in the end. “It’s all in the heart, one must enjoy life. We are
not designed to understand everyone but we can appreciate the time we spend
with each other.” Imbert loves having fun and good times. Life in his opinion is about
negative and positive, but the base is to be open and try to understand. “This job
to me is plain awesome. Come to me for your exercise, if you want a change you
do it.” q
